83. Say what the denominators are of three (different fractional) quantities each of which has 1 for its numerator, when the sum (of those quantities) is .
84. Say what the denominators are of three (fractional quantities) which have 3, 7 and 9 (respectively) for their numerators, when the sum (of those quantities) is 1.
The rule for arriving at the denominators of two (fractional) quantities which have one for each of their numerators, when the sum (of those quantities) has one for its numerator:
85. The denominator of the (given) sum multiplied by any chosen number is the denominator (of one of the intended fractional quantities); and this (denominator) divided by the (previously) chosen (number) as lessened by one gives rise to the other (required denominator). Or, when in relation to the denominator of the (given) sum (any chosen) divisor (thereof) and the quotient (obtained therewith) are (each) multiplied by their sum, they give rise to the two (required) denominators.
Examples in illustration thereof.
86. Tell me, O you who know the principles of arithmetic, what the denominators of the two (intended fractional) quantities are when their sum is either
